At five o'clock in the afternoon, Endo Shantai returned from the investigation, but the three of them still found nothing new.

Looking at the three people who were in a low mood, Zhang Xuetao said, "I'm not blaming you, why are you all looking like this?"

Endo Shantai said depressedly: "This is our first mission with ninjas. We wanted to have a big fight, but now we can't even find any trace of our opponent. It's really~oh~it's true!"

Zhang Xuetao put his arms around Endo Shantai's neck and comforted him: "In such a big capital, looking for a few people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, let alone looking for ninjas. But the fact that you can think like this just shows that you have a heart that wants to become stronger. Work hard.

Come on! Your talent is much better than mine."

"Oh, by the way," Zhang Xuetao turned to Uzumaki Xiangphoenix and said, "Xiangphoensis, you should take a good rest after eating. Tonight I am going to the counselor Hongming's house to investigate. Please prepare."

"Okay." Before Uzumaki Kanaru finished speaking, Endo Shantasu said eagerly, "I'll go too."

"Okay, okay, don't join in the fun." Zhang Xuetao waved his hand and said, "We are just going to explore secretly today, not fight. If there are more people, it will be easier to be exposed."

After a while, Bai also came back. From Bai's mouth, he learned that there are indeed caravans in the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind doing various food and material transactions in the Kingdom of Birds. But they are all ordinary people doing it, and the caravans

There are no ninjas inside.

"I not only investigated the caravan today, but also the people behind the caravan. Most of them are senior officials of the Bird Country. Basically, it can be said that the senior officials of the Bird Country are divided into three factions.

There is a faction of the country, a faction of the country that is pro-land, and a faction of local self-reliance. But this local self-reliance is the least, there are only a few people. The rest are supported by the country of wind and the country of earth." Bai recounted today.

Detected content.

"There are no ninjas?" Zhang Xuetao frowned and thought: The absence of ninjas only means that they have not been discovered, but it does not mean that they have not intervened in the Kingdom of Birds.

Should I give up this mission? No, I can't always be so forward-thinking. If I am always worried that doing something will be stopped by another force, then there is no need to build a ninja village.

Weak people need to unite, and being able to gain the friendship of a big name in a country can also gain a lot of benefits.

Thinking and walking back and forth, Zhang Xuetao suddenly asked: "What about the political situation of the country? Have those officials done anything special? For example, have there been rumors that the recent officials, those supported by the Kingdom of Wind, and

Officials supported by the Earth Kingdom fought fiercely with each other."

"That's not true. The political power of this country is still very stable at present, and there is no secession." Bai also paid attention to these things when he was investigating, and quickly answered Zhang Xuetao's words.

"From this point of view, at least it is ruled out that the White Curse Warrior has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. A single move can affect the whole body. Now the territory of all countries has been determined. A kind of balance has been reached. If it is moved, it may be

Breaking this balance will cause war." After hearing Bai's words, Zhang Xuetao guessed and then said to Bai.

After Zhang Xuetao and Bai's discussion, they both felt that the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth would not intervene in this matter, so naturally there would be no ninjas coming to their respective Ninja Villages. This also made them feel a little relieved.

Night soon came, and Zhang Xuetao and Uzumaki Xianglan changed into night clothes. Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to go out through the door. Instead, they jumped onto the roof from the second floor window and cautiously headed towards the residence of counselor Hongming.

"The night is dark and windy!"

Zhang Xuetao looked at the sky and said with emotion.

After hearing this, Uzumaki Koro raised his head and looked at the sky, and said doubtfully: "The moon is not dark today! It is quite bright. Besides, there is no wind!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xuetao turned his head and looked at Uzumaki Xiangphosphorus and said, "So we have to be careful tonight."

The two jumped off the roof, nimbly turned into an alley, quickly stuck to the shadow at the base of the wall, and continued walking forward with their backs bent.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from the front, and at this moment Uzumaki Koro activated his perception, and then reminded in a low voice: "There are eight people, not ninjas."

The two quickly climbed over the wall and entered a courtyard. A quick scan revealed that the people in the courtyard were already asleep and no lights were lit.

After a while, the sound of footsteps gradually became clearer. He passed by the alley where Zhang Xuetao was just now, and looked over the wall at the inspectors who were gradually walking away. None of them had flashlights in their hands. These inspectors heard what Akita Sect said,

It was also during this period that the number of white-cursed warriors increased.

When the inspectors turned the corner and entered another alley, Zhang Xuetao and Uzumaki Xianglan jumped out and continued to move forward. After repeatedly dodging several waves of these inspectors, they finally arrived at the residence of counselor Hongming.

There were two people standing at the door of the mansion, one fat and one thin, holding a spear. There was a brazier burning beside them. The bright flames dispersed the darkness.

Zhang Xuetao saw that the mansion was at least several thousand square meters in size, and around it, the patrols were even denser.

"How's it going? Have you sensed the ninja?" Zhang Xuetao asked in a low voice.

Uzumaki Koro shook his head and you replied in a low voice: "I haven't sensed the ninja, but there are quite a few of these guards. There are more than a hundred people within the range that I can sense."

The two of them observed in the dark for a while, and when they found a change of guard, they took the opportunity to enter the residence of counselor Hongming.

Swipe~swipe~ The two quickly jumped to a big tree and hid in the dense tree.

Climb up the tree and look far away at the courtyard road, which stretches three to four hundred meters from the gate to the rather majestic wooden house. There are also burning braziers in several places in the courtyard. The entire courtyard is illuminated brightly.

of.

Swipe~swipe~ta~ The timing was right. The two of them walked continuously through the trees and then jumped onto the house.

The slight noise did not alert anyone, and the two moved carefully.

"Xiang Lu, please feel the position of the people in this house again." Zhang Xuetao approached the whirlpool and whispered to her.

Uzumaki nodded. He began to sense it, and then said to Zhang Xuetao: "In this area, there are eight people in the houses on the west side. They didn't move. They should be asleep. And the ones on the east side

There were five people in a room. They were all together, and one of them was walking around. There were five more people walking down the corridor, looking around."

After hearing what Uzumaki said, Zhang Xuetao thought: The eight people in the west were not moving. It was indeed possible that they were asleep at such a late hour. They might be family members. But there were five people in the east, and one of them was still walking around.

Go. There is no rest. They should be discussing something. And this is the information I need.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuetao let Uzumaki Xianglin lead him to the five-person room on the east side.

After arriving at the location, I

I wanted to imitate the movie and peel off the tiles to see what's going on inside, but I didn't expect that even the roof of this house was made of wooden boards.

It's all covered with wooden boards, but it's also very noisy. It's hard to hear what's being said. If you want to really hear clearly, you have to get closer.

But there are people patrolling this corridor. If you want to hear the sounds inside, you have to deal with the patrols outside first. And these patrols are not just one person. Instead, one will come over in five or six minutes.

There are five inspectors in total. They are only responsible for patrolling in circles in the corridor. They are just ordinary samurai. Zhang Xuetao carries the Uzumaki phosphorus like a see-through pendant, knowing their whereabouts very well.

When they weren't paying attention, he covered their mouths, knocked them unconscious, and randomly put them into the room. In a short time, all five of them were killed.

Zhang Xuetao quickly came to the door of the room where the five people were on the east side, and slowly put his ear close to it, and the sound came from inside the house.

"Lord Hongming, although the political situation is now stable, this White Cursed Warrior is still making everyone panic. Moreover, there are recent rumors that it was you who did it, which is really nonsense."

"Humph!" A cold snort sounded. Then he said angrily: "Let me tell you! This thing was made by Meng Zong. What skills did he rely on to become a supervisor? He came from juggling."

Zhang Xuetao heard the conversation of these people and learned that they were not the masterminds behind the White Curse Warrior.

Zhang Xuetao stood up slowly and found that these doors were not completely closed, but had cracks, and through these cracks, the situation inside the house could be seen.

Four people were kneeling on the ground, discussing who the mastermind behind the White Curse Warrior was and what his purpose was.

Another thing is that the person Uzumaki Koro mentioned walking around is the counselor Hong Ming. He is listening to the opinions of his subordinates to guess the closest answer.

Suddenly a new statement caught his attention. That was the person behind the scenes, possibly a famous person.

The evidence he presented was that first the previous daimyo died suddenly, and less than half a year later, the sister of the current daimyo also died suddenly. This phenomenon is not normal. Can the daimyo not have any doubts in his heart?

In particular, this White Cursed Warrior is under the banner of the undead of the former daimyo. If it is not an unjust death, how can the undead appear? It is very likely that the daimyo is using this method to find the murderer of the former daimyo and the current daimyo's sister. And look

With that attitude, Master Hongming is also the target of the daimyo’s suspicion!

After the counselor Hongming heard this statement, he immediately said: "Your statement is also very reasonable. Regarding the sudden death of the previous daimyo, I am very suspicious, but to let the daimyo die suddenly without anyone noticing, this in itself

It's not what ordinary people can do. That's why I object to Lord Sagi becoming a daimyo, and I will bear this risk. After finding the murderer, I will return the position of daimyo to Lord Sagi. But from the perspective of the daimyo, I do have the best

Suspicion."

"Lord Hong Ming, don't worry. If this White Curse Warrior is really the work of the Dai Ming, then he will definitely come to see the Lord Hong Ming. At that time, the Lord Hong Ming will explain to the Dai Ming and let the Dai Ming know about the so-called eminent monk Meng Zongcai.

It’s a cancer in the bird country.”

"Hmm. Hmm~?" Counselor Hongming felt that what he said made sense. He hummed to show his approval. However, he suddenly felt confused because the person who was supposed to be patrolling did not come over according to the time.

He walked to the wall, picked up the katana, and suddenly shouted: "There are assassins."
